Random acts of violence

 Well its been quite a stressful Christmas but I heard some news that took the biscuit as they say this week. It seems a car of 4 men all drug dealers randomly attacked my cousins son and his friend as they were going about their Christmas shopping. The men were shouting abuse before hand and seemed to be looking for trouble. The best part however is that they bit off more than they could chew...

My cousin is in his 20's and built like a brick you know what. He is also very good at Mixed Martial Arts. In fact he often " beats " his tutor in competition. Within 30 seconds he had knocked one man out and had another crawling on his hands and knees. Luckily the police were just driving by and heard the shouts of the two mens girl friends whom they were shopping with. My cousin says he was disappointed when the police turned up as he was going to teach them all a lesson they would not forget. And lets be honest that is the only thing they would understand.

Years ago I and a friend  had a were the victim of a drug dealer and his side kick in an un-provoked violent attack. A guy just walked up to me and head butted me in the face while another kicked my friend to the ground resulting in a hospital over night stay. You dont forget a random attack. Its the nastiest and shocking kind. The local hospital knew the name of the assailant  and had seen many examples of his " handy work " over the years. These two guys were an utter waste of space.

Last year I heard the man who had attacked me back then had died a nasty death by Motor Neuron disease. On hearing the news I felt quite pleased. He wasnt going to beat the crap out of anymore innocent people and it seemed like karma somehow. A relation attended the funeral where friends and family of the man rejoiced in what a great kind and wonderful guy he was. He was a piece of shit. Why do people do that ?

I wonder if the men who attacked my cousin will ever see a trial. Nowadays its all drug rehabilitation courses and community service which thieves and criminals just laugh at and dont turn up. They dont even bother to turn up at court or obey curfews. I know this from experience regarding a quad bike theft. Crime is not punished with prison if its root cause can be attributed to drugs in anyway. This has to change. We need need to protect the everyday man from these animals.

This also brings me onto the fact that horrendous assaults, theft and the cruel killing of animals in ways I cannot print on here have all gone unpunished by the Police in this valley. I watched a family feud take place just up the road from me. Time and time again terrible acts went unpunished and court orders ignored. Its destroyed my faith in any justice in this land.
